    Exactly. It’s wishful/magical thinking on their parts. Republicans would have gone into attack mode on him same as any Democrat. He would have faced similar roadblocks with the same congress. But somehow things would have been magically different? How!?

    The president is the most powerful office in the US government. But it’s way more limited than people think. Biden could call for halting all aid to Israel tomorrow. And Congress could/would just ignore it. Same as they would if Sanders was in the office. Hell house Republicans are already campaigning on it. And it hasn’t and isn’t likely to ever happen. But somehow it’s all Biden’s fault? It doesn’t make sense.
